What do you get when you put together LyFOX & GAMV? you get glideo of course.
A work in progress & by invitation only glideo will be amazing. Still the direction of glideo is not certain but will be worth wild. Look forward to seeing more information about glideo in the upcoming weeks.

Wow! Such great news! And let me add that the logo is looking great!
I can barely wait, I’ve been following both the downloadable apps and the php ones, and they are great! The big challenge is making a program that reaches enough people so it’s worth it, but isn’t so widely spread so AOL and Yahoo notice, otherwise they change a little bit in the code and ban, it doesn’t work anymore, like it happened in the past. I hope that we can achieve that here with Glideo.

If possible, I would love to have an invitation or to be in the testing team! See you, and thanks for the great news

Hey there. I’ve been using LyFOX for the past 2 years or so and am very anxious to see what you concocted with Glideo. I would very much love to be included in the beta testing if at all possible. Either way, thank you for your time.

Well I got tired of waiting so I re-wrote the code from scratch and now I can get full 700k 400×300 streams or greater and is complete with MMS link so no need to snoop for it anymore. The 320×240 feed is also available as that is sometimes an older feed that is different from the new and some are without the logo.

It is using Flash for preview so it is 100% cross-browser compliant. The search fully functional and is capable of serving other countries as well where Yahoo serves videos (UK, Canada, France, etc.) although I haven’t implemented it yet.

I am finishing up the code for AOL also. They serve as high as (or more) 1.5M 640×480 streams and can be downloaded in a buffet of media (wma, mov or flv) format. Now that’s really is near DVD quality.

Hey JMR, great work you made on that. The “copy MMS” buttons are not working for me, but the WMP link is, however I can’t right-click and copy it myself, as you seem to have protected the site from that command. Just a note for a fix.

Can you tell me which browser you are using? The “Copy MMS” should work fine with both IE and FireFox (Mozilla). Just would like to know. That function will be updated in the near fure anyway. For the mean time, you can launch it in WMP and go to PROPERTIES and you can copy the MMS url from there under LOCATION.

One extra suggestion I have is that the people who only want to grab Yahoo’s MMS need to go through the small loading time of the Yahoo flash app, and if the person wants the MMS, probably does not want to watch it in flash. It would be hugely more pratical if instead of that Yahoo button on the right side of each search result, the 400×300 “copy MMS” button would be there instead, directly in the page of the search, instead of having to open a popup. And just leaving the popup for the people who want to watch it in flash.

I’m a bit of a purist… I’ve been trying to use all in-browser tools to extract yahoo goodness The stress of developing JS to deter content harvesting has apparently gotten to staff… there are some interesting use of expletives only prying eyes will see

Hey guys there is a new comment section @ VideoBot if you want to post comments or questions. I don’t want to clutter Ferny’s blog of VideoBot’s issues.

@ J5, I just tested the link and it works with SDP and VLC. Keep in mind that sometimes a token (which is part of the mms link) expires instantly for unknown reason but the quick fix for that is to launch the video again to get a new link with a new token. In short, if it doesn’t work, try again.

@ geekmaster, yes that will sometimes work because of a cookie that still active in your PC. As mentioned above, if a link doen’t work, it’s best to just try it again by relaunching a new window.

Hi THere!!! Awesome work I should say… here are a few things I’d mention which might be of some use… bugs maybe…

(1) The videobot allows you to download files in whatever format you want and whatever quality you want… however, there are a few problems wid some permutations.

For example, Hi-Q with WMV yields a 700K URL (which is good quality but nowhere near a DVD nonetheless, especially the audio) – this URL CAN NOT be downloaded using FlashGet, which otherwise downloads other mms URLs properly…

(2) Same with the .mov files. phpGAMV gives us the highest .mov files possible – videobot allows us to choose. But that doesnt make much of a difference – – like most of Linkin Park’s works are 7-8 mb in size… and qualifies as hi-Q

I couldnt make my problem clear – I’m really excited with the near DVD quality videos… And I found this one Dani California video for 187 MB using phpGamv. Where does it qualkify? Hi-Q or somewhere else?

Whats Hi-Q by tjhe way ? Highest Quality or a techie term?

I’d be really thankful if you could provide a distinction of all the quality modes available

(3)Theres a Dani California video which is 187 mb – now – VLC player says it is 320*240 in resolutino – which is not possible if 1500 mbps vids are at 640*480 – what can be the cause ??

(4)Like I said in the phpGAMV thread – many many videos are not retriveable… I’ve mentioned them there.. but the most noteable one is the Alice In Chains Videography – none of them are there

I just downloaded Sanatna – Just Feel Better using phpGAMV – the quicktime player gives the following details : -

Sorenson 3 Video/320*240 resolution /24 FPS/Stereo @ 44KHz

I dont have any complaints with this video quality – but its not what has been said here. DVD quality certainly not! The vieo shows pixelation when played in double size – the pic quality is GREAT!!!! but certainly nowhere near a DVD – mightbe cuz of the resolution – but no whining cuz there are no other problems like flickering or similar glitches

Well, JMR said there are 640*480 videos as well… so was just wondering – I have no PROBS with these videos as long as they are professional [those MPegs floating around net - my GOD - horrible flickerig and noise ] but a little bit of luxury I would surely not mind S ocan anyone tell me whats the deal with them high resolution videos?

The matchbox20 video that Deepak is talking about is well, a brand new release – just a month old or so and a look at the movie inspector of quicktime tells us that it is in H.264 Mpeg4 codec – a codec which Quicktime supports for not more than 7 months… so only the newer files encoded through this QuickTime7 will have a H.264 coding – The 640*480 resolution might come along with it

The other videos might be re-encoded and uploaded shortly – but this is the fear factor – as soon as the reuploading is done – phpGAMV wont work

change the 700 in the above link to 1500
and DAMN!!! you get a 640*480 file

well – to tell the truth – phpGAMV is providing 700K links for all new releases…
at the same time – older releases have their 1500 K links being displayed – still – they being older are not encoded in H.264 and hence 1500K have a 320*240 resolution

SAD!!!

Can anyone do a few tweaks and tell if the older ones have been re-encoded and uploaded? cuz its been 7 months since the new codec, and AOL prolly wont want to waste double bandwidth over inferior quality

Damned Ghost Is Right You Just Have To Change From 700 To 1500 I Thought You Guys Must Have Known It Neways Don’t Get Exicted It Works Only For New Videos And Many Dont Even Work With This Code Ne Ways

If You Didnt Knew This Than How Da Hell Were You Gonna Give HI-Q Vids?????????????

First, I think you need to lay off some sodas or caffeine. I take offense to your posts here and @ php-GamV thread. Either you don’t express yourself well or it really is a problem.

Second, I would like to clarify the VideoBot is totally independent of Glideo. It was coded by me from scratch from the ground up. However, I did use (borrow) Ferny’s green theme/skin for the meantime.

Third, this Hi-Q 1500Mbps MOV is old news. This has been posted in VideoBot’s homepage from the get go. It has only been 4-5 days ago when AOL made the switch to Hi-Q for most of MOV files. So this is NOT your discovery (whoever claims).

Fourth, I developed VideoBot for my personal convenience but decided to share it to public following Ferny’s good deed. Consider that as a payback. So if at the moment it doesn’t seem to fit your requirements, well too bad, you’ll just have to relax and wait until such feature is implemented. You can’t have all the icing on the cake.

Fifth, I didn’t mention DVD quality. You must have me confused with somebody else here who claims so. If you don’t know what AOL Hi-Q means, look it up. If it is not serving you what you want then make your own.

And last but not least, if you can modify the link to get what you need then there is no need to rush and demand feature change for your convenience. Be careful walking a fine thread or you may get that priviledge revoked.

You could any time go through my posts here, and you’ll find whatever Ive mentioned are either pertaining the 1500K streams that FernyB asked or suggestions for bugfixing. I was thoroughly satisfied by the freebie stuff. And none of my posts were directed at any person or laid down their works, so I’m surprised you took offence. Well if you did, I apologize.

Well, lets say I just didnt do my research work properly before posting here; It was my enthusiasm that showed up in my expressionless posts So far as expressing myself goes, I’m pretty well at that, and I certainly do not need to prove it.

Best of luck with the rest of your work.

@DS Relax, lay down, my first post to you was about that how the hell part, and the second post was a friendly comment, you just got the tone wrong

Hey this is all great work guys, but i was wondering if they was any way to unprotect the 1500k mov’s or something so i can convert them. I tried using videora ipod converter but the audio gets choppy and cut out in some parts. Anyone have any tips or help please?

Hey guys, now I can’t download the 1500K .MOV file but I still can download the 700K .MOV file from AOL. I think AOL has changes the directory of the Hi-Q MOV files or maybe these files has been deleted.
Please invite me to test beta glideo. Thanks

I started a small little project which might be of interest here. I have no good way of communicating with you FernyB (but if you read this please shoot me an email), but I might as well share it with everyone.

I have dubbed it GAMVL: Get AOL Music Videos Leech – it basically is a front-end GUI for the phpGAMV located here. It incorporates downloading several videos at a time and transcodes to iPod format should you desire.

Check it out at seancolyer.com , the source is posted under GPL V2.0 so feel free to chip in, give ideas.

Ferny, Can I contact you in regard to Glideo? It’s very interested matter!

And to everybody, If you are interested in trying the new beta version of Pay Low Music!, please participate in the beta program at http://www.paylowmusic.com/beta and you will earn money from participating. It’s free to participate of course!

I haven’t been using LyFOX for a long time now, I know it had some issues, I guess I can try to get it back but I have been busy with other stuff, You know, “real life work”, and other side projects, I will think of something.. It was a good 3 years of LyFOX.. and wow it lasted that long. I did what I could, of course I will always try to come up with something useful.
Thanks Everyone.

Hey ferny

Hic.. hic… I though this Glideo would be a great software. After long time waiting.. it doesn’t seems to be happened. I remember when the LyFox is still downloadable software with that cool Black style. It’s still the best of LyFox until now. And then, the next version could download from UK region which is until now never showed up anymore. What a nice memory, hics.. hics..

VideoBot seems to be almost dead.. LyFox certainly has. I can’t believe all of this great pleasure is going to an end.
